Night Halo Reverie

Description

A woman’s silhouette holds a crescent moon, a stone tower, stars, an open book, and a rose, while two candles burn below and her long braid sweeps across the scene. Imagination has become inseparable from identity; the story no longer surrounds her because it now lives within her. The tower may belong to a story she is reading, a place she remembers, or a future she has not reached. The rose emerging from the book gives the thought physical life, while the candles keep the act of reading intimate and grounded. The artwork speaks to the private hours when a story grows larger than the room and, for a little while, changes the shape of the person holding it.
